Even if he wasn't that is a very acceptable excuse to use though :P

I have no idea about his motive of throwing red paint on the stone sign 検察庁. I don't think what he did would be his benefit as he has been arrested so easily after all.

"The man has so far not given any motive for his act, police said."
Looks like he IMPLIED for them to figure it out for themselves ...good luck with that.

Not a good idea. Chances are this particular government office likes to press charges.

Depends upon the sign... Support your local "Government Official" ?
